Boys Chillin at Waikiki Beach shop

Both these beach bums could have easily been props for these Adirondack Chair displays.
Who is gonna start the bidding? I say priceless! Do they look cool as cucumbers or what?

Kate's Keen Eye




Our neighbor Kate has a keen eye for Margarita's. Just kidding. She is a wonderful photographer. It does appear as though she is taking a photo of those drinks however. Both Jim and Rob make the best Margarita's. Each of them have their own recipes. Don't panic...We are dockside and this is after our day of sailing.

Oahu with our Neighbors

It was so much fun having our friends Jim and Kate accompany us in Hawaii this past Easter. We all stayed at the Marriott K'Olina Resort there in a suite. It was our first time using our time share there. Traveling with them has been memorable.





Our dear friends Jim and Kate took a maiden voyage with us on our new Catalina sailboat. They were great first guests and very well behaved. Aren't they a happy looking couple? We look forward to many more sails with them on SF Bay.

Sailing in SF Bay

Rob and I purchased our own boat after a brief partnership with another sailor.

Having your own boat makes all the difference. I actually love "playing house" on our new Catalina. All 36 feet of her is beautiful. Last weekend, while Rob was away, I polished the chrome in the galley, polished the fenders, made both beds, and then made dinner on the boat. She is really looking ship and shiny shape now.

We had a horrific spring with so much rain. Not much sailing was done. We did find ourselves on the boat for some bonding time and would just go have dinner on her or lunch in the pouring rain.
